10 Beginner Tips For New World

New World is an entertaining release but it can be overwhelming to beginners.

New World burst onto the scene, amassing tons of players upon its release and having to create a slew of servers just to cut down on the immense queues that gamers were enduring. Now, a few weeks after launch, things have calmed down considerably but players are still flocking to the title to get in on Amazon’s attempt at the MMORPG genre.

Unfortunately for some, especially those that have never stepped into an MMORPG, New World can be downright daunting. There are a lot of mechanics to learn, things to see, and weapons to try. To help remedy this information overload, here’s a look at some beginner tips that players should consider when starting their journey.

10 Focus On Weapon Experience Early

New World is different than most traditional MMORPG because it doesn’t focus on classes, instead opting to allow players to be whatever they want to be and tying skills to weapons rather than “jobs.” Players will need to amass weapon EXP in order to unlock skills and the only way to gain the applicable experience is to slay enemies with the appropriate weapon equipped.

Because of this, it’s important for players to decide what weapons they like and want to use before their journey starts. The longer a player uses a weapon, the more proficient they’ll become and the more skills they’ll have at their disposal.

9 Pick A Tradeskill And Stick To It

There are a lot of Tradeskills and Proficiencies found in New World. Players that want to get the most out of crafting are going to have to work on a variety of gathering proficiencies to snag the necessary materials before they can make the gear they want.

Unfortunately, it’s easy to become “spread too thin” and players that are scattered when gathering and crafting will find themselves much farther from their goals. Instead, it’s smart to focus on one discipline and put all of the efforts into it. Materials are used across a variety of jobs, meaning players will effectively be “stealing from themselves” if they hop crafting jobs constantly. It’s better to focus resources on one thing and level it up before moving on.

8 Pick Weapons That Compliment Each Other Early

New World offers up a lot of “build freedom” for players but those that are looking to level effectively during the early game should really opt for weapons that have the same stat boosts. Weapons come in a variety of flavors but will always use a specific attribute (or multiple with one dominant).

Take, for example, the Great Axe and Warhammer, which both use the Strength attribute to boost their damage capabilities. Players that use both of these weapons will always have strong strikes so long as they specialize in Strength. It’s not recommended to use a wide array of damage types as players will need to spread their points around, making them weaker overall as they level up.

7 Do Faction Missions Regularly

Players will need to pick one of three factions as they progress through their journey (although it’s possible to do things without joining a faction). Once players have decided on which faction they want to represent, they need to be sure to take faction missions daily. The first time these missions are completed for a day, they offer a massive EXP bonus. This can help players level quickly.

Faction Missions (which are snagged from the appropriate faction representative in each town) also reward players with Faction Points, which can be used to purchase specific gear and weapons.

6 Don’t Buy The Cheapest House First

Owning a house is one of the coolest parts of New World but many players make the mistake of purchasing the cheapest house as soon as they possibly can. The reason this isn’t recommended is that players actually get a large discount on their first home purchase (50 percent off). It’s much smarter and more economical for players to buy a larger home since they will receive such a deep discount on the purchase price and taxes.

Larger homes come with better perks, allowing players to place more items, larger storage chests, and even fast travel to their location more often.

5 Try Not To Craft In Towns Owned By Other Factions

New World’s endgame is built on warring factions that control towns and dictate how much players are taxed for a variety of services. Those that engage in crafting will have to pay a fee to the town and Companies that own these locations can decide how much they want to tax each Faction individually.

Sometimes it’s impossible to avoid crafting in another town or city that isn’t owned by your faction as players will need access to better crafting stations to build better items. But, for the most part, players can avoid paying obnoxiously high fees by sticking close to towns that are the same color on the map as their faction.

4 Always Keep Food Readily Available

Food is actually rather important in New World. Although food is considered a “buffing element” in other MMORPGs, it goes much further in Amazon’s open-world adventure. Players that regularly consume food and travel rations will receive the Well-Fed buff, which lasts for 30 minutes and is responsible for triggering health regen. Players without the Well-Fed buff will notice that their health doesn’t actively regen unless they enter a town or rest at a campfire.

There are additional foods that can boost stats but players should always have enough nourishment on them to keep their health-regen buff active.

3 Take Every Quest You See

There are a lot of side quests, town missions, and Faction missions scattered throughout New World. The main story is entertaining in its own right but players should always snag and complete any applicable quests they see. It is possible to level up simply by crafting and slaying enemies but quests reward a massive amount of EXP by comparison.

On top of that, players will receive level-appropriate gear, helping them to earn better armor and weapons.

2 Don’t Aggro Too Many Enemies At Once

Players who frequent MMORPGs will likely want to corral a bunch of enemies and take them all down at once to amass as much EXP as possible. While this practice is doable in New World, it’s much harder than other games. Enemies have the ability to stagger the player out of certain moves and it’s easy for players to become completely overwhelmed by their foes, unable to heal or dish out damage.

Instead, players should take down their enemies systematically, ensuring they don’t aggro too many at one time.

1 Enjoy The Journey

Players may be tempted to attack New World with the same fervor as they do other MMORPGs. It’s tempting to rush into the release with the mindset of reaching the endgame as quickly as possible but, in its current state, New World is very much a barebones MMO title. Instead, players should sit back and enjoy the journey, leveling at their own pace and immersing themselves in the character they’re playing.

It’s very likely that Amazon will start to push out some major updates and give players more endgame content to tackle but, for now, new players should simply enjoy the sights.
